Any Gluten Free/caffine Free Hot Drinks

Since going gluten free I also added dropping coffee and tea from my diet as I found out that they were also leading to my lousy feeling. Since I dropped all forms of coffee and teas things have been much much better. However, I tend to do long road trips and have one coming up...., I was such a junkie for the hot drink in the car while traveling..., are there hot drink alternatives that are gluten/caffine/decaf free?

As long as you check the herbal teas for gluteny ingredients, they should be gluten-free and caffeine free. I know celestial seasonings is great about marking the boxes gluten-free when the blend is safe. Peppermint tea, fruity herbal teas, I've found them very yummy.

I think Brien is asking for hot drinks that are NOT coffee or tea.

I like apple cider and lemonade hot.

Have you dropped just black/green teas?

Like the previous poster, I drink mint teas. It's just dried mint in hot water. I also like nettle tea, which is caffeine free.

You can find lots of tasty herbs that are caffeine free to make a hot drink.

Herbal teas (often gluten free, but always check the label).

Hot chocolate (I make mine with cocoa powder, almond milk, and agave nectar, but there are lots of other options).

Hot cider.

Hot lemonade.

I'll have to followup on some of those teas. I was drinking a variety of decaf Green teas but they seemed to be having the same effect but less that regular tea and coffee did. I'll have to double check some things at my local Health Food stores - need to jot down the suggestions.

Hot cider and lemonade I may need to revisit but wasn't something I enjoyed when I tried them a ways back but who knows now.

There are all kinds of herbal teas you can have. The simple peppermint or chamomile or what have you. But there are a WIDE variety of blends. Stash and Celestial Seasonings and Tazo have plenty, but find a local tea shop for more inventive variations. Teavana makes a fruity blend (sweet fruit garden) that I think is fabulous (even better with some honey). And there are more and more rooibos teas (red tea) which are naturally caffeine free.

This may sound a little strange but I just recently found that I enjoy a cup of hot water with about 2 table spoons of honey and a tsp of cinammon(sp). or more whatever your taste is. It is both smoothing and uplifting at the same time.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Mama trying to help 3 year old!!!

      I’m so sorry your little one is going through this. Celiac recovery can take time (sometimes months for gut healing), but the ongoing leg pain is concerning. Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist might also explore if there’s concurrent inflammation or autoimmune involvement (like juvenile arthritis, which sometimes overlaps with celiac). Gentle massage, Epsom salt baths (for magnesium absorption), or low-impact activities like swimming could help ease discomfort while he heals. Keep advocating for him—you’re doing an amazing job!

      Thank you for the input. We go back to the GI doctor in June- she wants to do more labs to check vitamin levels( not sure why the didn't check all at once with the iron being so low) and recheck inflammatory levels. Just trying to find him some relief in the meantime.

      Welcome to the forum, @Stuartpope! With Marsh 3b damage to the villous lining of the small bowel, your son is likely deficient in a number of vitamin and minerals due to poor absorption, not just iron. B12 and all the other B vitamins are likely low. I would suggest looking into a high quality gluten-free B complex, D3, magnesium glycinate (the form of magnesium is important) and zinc. A children's multivitamin likely will not be potent enough. We commonly recommend this combo of vitamins and minerals to new celiacs as adults. Thing is, you would want to consult with a pediatrician about dosage because of his young age. In time, with the gluten-free diet his villi will rebound but he may need a kick start right now with some high potency supplements.

      Hey yall!  New Celiac mama trying to help my son! My 3 year old was just diagnosed with Marsh 3b by a biopsy. We started this journey due to him being severely anemic (ferritin levels 1.2) He has had  3 iron infusions to help with the anemia. He has also been gluten free for a month. He is still having leg/ joint pain( he described a burning/ hurting) Im trying to help with his leg pain. He has trouble playing ( spending most days on the couch) He tells me 5/6X a day that his legs are hurting. Gets worse when walking or  playing. We have done OTC pain meds/ heating pad/ warm baths. What else can I do to help him be a kid.     Thanks for the help
